//! The assistant's own name, as a tool it can change.
//!
//! "Call yourself Friday" is how people actually rename an assistant —
//! especially by voice, where there is no Settings pane to open. Without a
//! tool, the model simply agrees in prose and nothing happens: the voice wake
//! word, the host UI, and the next session all still use the old name, and the
//! user is left addressing an assistant that no longer answers.
//!
//! # Why this one is gated no matter the tier
//!
//! Every other tool here is gated by what the *session* can do. This one is
//! gated by what the *instruction source* could be. A rename can arrive from a
//! fetched web page, a file the agent read, or a recalled memory — all of which
//! reach the model as text it may act on — and an assistant that silently
//! starts answering to a name someone else chose is an identity-spoof surface,
//! not a convenience. So `set_assistant_name` self-declares
//! `"tier": "full_access"` and is added to `gated_tools` unconditionally in
//! [`build_assistant_runtime`], which routes it through human approval on every
//! session including `--full-access` ones.
//!
//! The cost of being wrong in the other direction is one approval tap. The cost
//! of being wrong in this direction is an assistant that changed who it is
//! because a web page said so.
//!
